Fascinating Fact:

Beaming groups rhythms by beat. Join quavers and semiquavers within each beat to show counting clearly.

In Specialist Music Theory Grade 2 Note Types, you learn how rhythmic values fit into beats and bars. You will group quavers and semiquavers correctly, choose the right rests, and read patterns with confidence.

Key Terms

Beaming: The joining of note stems with horizontal beams to show one beat group clearly.
Quaver: An eighth note worth half a crotchet beat. Two quavers fill one crotchet beat.
Semiquaver: A sixteenth note worth a quarter of a crotchet beat. Four semiquavers fill one crotchet beat.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

How do you beam quavers in Grade 2 music theory?

Beam quavers and semiquavers within each beat, not across beats. In 4/4, group them so each crotchet beat is shown clearly for easy counting.

How many quavers or semiquavers fit in one beat?

In simple time with a crotchet beat, two quavers make one beat and four semiquavers make one beat. Mixed groups must still total one beat.

When should I use rests in Grade 2 rhythms?

Use rests to show silence for the exact value of the missing notes. Choose the rest that matches the beat grouping so the rhythm remains clear.
